VMWare -- Running Linux in Win2K -- It's the greatest thing since sliced bread!!

[RedFox1]

I had never heard of VMWare until a couple days ago...it's fantastic. It lets you install and run multiple "guest" OS's in Linux or Windows. I used to dual boot in order to use Linux once in a while...but now I just run it in a window on my desktop.

There's a version that runs in Linux too. Who knows, maybe I'll start using Linux as my primary OS one of these days.

If you haven't tried it, you can download an evaluation here:
The VMware site

There is also a commercial product called VirtualPC. I have heard that it runs faster, however doesn't come in a linux version.
